Biconvex optimization
Biconvex optimization is a generalization of convex optimization where the objective function and the constraint set can be biconvex. There are methods that can find the global optimum of these proble
Convex function
In mathematics, a real-valued function is called convex if the line segment between any two points on the graph of the function lies above the graph between the two points. Equivalently, a function is
Supermodular function
In mathematics, a function is supermodular if for all , , where denotes the componentwise maximum and the componentwise minimum of and . If −f is supermodular then f is called submodular, and if the i
Quasiconvex function
In mathematics, a quasiconvex function is a real-valued function defined on an interval or on a convex subset of a real vector space such that the inverse image of any set of the form is a convex set.
Linear-fractional programming
In mathematical optimization, linear-fractional programming (LFP) is a generalization of linear programming (LP). Whereas the objective function in a linear program is a linear function, the objective
Pseudoconvex function
In convex analysis and the calculus of variations, both branches of mathematics, a pseudoconvex function is a function that behaves like a convex function with respect to finding its local minima, but
Invex function
In vector calculus, an invex function is a differentiable function from to for which there exists a vector valued function such that for all x and u. Invex functions were introduced by Hanson as a gen
